Introduction
Open Gateway is a GSMA-led telco industry initiative that transforms telecommunications networks into developer-ready platforms, unlocking the full power of the network.
These capabilities are exposed through global, standardized APIs under the framework of CAMERA, the open source project led by the Linux Foundation and TM Forum in collaboration with the GSMA.
This TUTORIAL focuses on Life Science Innovation scenarios with the simulation of Neural Models along with the application of Open Gateway in cloud communications scenarios over mobile networks.
In addition to identifying real use cases, we will design proofs of concept focused on the characterization and visualization of neural activity, showing the benefits of these technologies in terms of accessibility and research time in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology.
Challenge raised
The challenge posed offers the possibility to delve into the following topics of study, based mainly on:
- Introduction to Open Gateway and Neural Simulations
- Brief description of what Open Gateway is and why it is useful to support neural simulations in the cloud.
- Life Science Applications
- Simulation of neurons and biological neural networks.
- Characterization of sequential neural dynamics in regimes of different activity (natural or pathological).
- Design and development of Proofs of Concept
- Testing in real situations with users and devices (tablets, mobiles, etc.).
- Analysis of the interaction of remote users in the use of neural simulators (with metrics of latency, speed of simulations, usability).
- Integration of the neural simulation with the chosen Open Gateway APIs, demonstrating in a simple way the benefits of this infrastructure in the execution and visualization of models.
- Documentation and Presentation
- Document the development process and the results obtained in the proofs of concept, presenting the benefits of the solutions.
- Report on best practices for the integration of APIs and Cloud Simulations in Life Sciences.
